Question: A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 6 5 o from the horizontal. ( a )

A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 65o from the horizontal. (a) What minimum value must the coe cient of static friction (between the surface of the hill and the ball) be for no slipping to occur? (b) Would the coe cient of friction calculated in case (a) be su cient to prevent a hollow ball (such as a soccer ball) from slipping? Explain.
